I'm a longtime reader of the Nabokov listserv, but have never written. I just feel compelled to share my sadness at Stan's
passing. It has literally stopped me in my tracks. I was just headed
out the door and I saw the message on my phone. Now I'm sitting at my
computer feeling unpleasant. I never met him but I have an email folder
dedicated specifically to his fantastically erudite missives. I
exchanged a couple emails with him expressing my appreciation, and,
despite my being a stranger on a different continent, he responded with
kindness and his patented panache.

It really is a shock. I exchanged a couple emails with him, he was funny
and amazingly brilliant. I always made sure to read his contributions
to the list.

It is very sad news.
I was fortunate to have met Stan three times in London, for hours of intense, generous intellectual merriment.
He was one of the brightest.
We will miss Stan greatly.
